Fellow citizens of Idaho City pre-
cinct. Something about election;
At the late election held in Idaho
City precinct, I, William Oliver, cast
my vote on that occasion. This
right is guaranteed to me, and not a
few times in my life have | helped to
defend that right, which is well
known to some of my fellow citizens.
1t has lately come to my ears that on
last election tiay srne one Of the
candidates bought my ynic. he price
paid being Fifteen dollars. Tals wise
liar didn't say who the lucky pur-
chaser was, hu' simply sta,cs that |
was only roi,l. fifteen dollars. Now
| want 70 say to Ills wise lar: You
shall tal>e ihat back, for you are one
of the mos; malicious, contemplate
liars that could be dag up from the
lowest Stunts Of degradation, whoever
yoa are, and eau frcse YOU a liar
BY every candidate On both tickets.
That all tie candidates liao more re-
spect To- my honor than TO approach
me III any snch unlawful and des-
picaisle manner, is Il fact, little as you
may think of il. AIN poor, con-
fess, and Ike the rest OF humanity,
struggling fer Independence; but to
sell myself or Independence to any
oao i, beneath my lowest thought.
Never in war or peace did any living
creature set such low estimate on
me as to approach me with money, or
any other valuable, or set price on
my freedom, as reported by this in
famous liar. take it as an outrage
on my character ana say to him: BE
it known unto YOU that the quicker
you call in this notorious lie the bet
ter for you, and in future do not dare
to utter my name in any disgracefuI
manner. When ! am dead you
might dare to take such liberties, but
understand ,hat while | live | allow
no contemplate, low-grade villain,
for such you are, to use my name in
any such way. You may think that
you are tIifling with pet kitten, but
| advise you in the strongest terms,
"look leettle out" To use a Scotch
phrase. "Ye'll get your farren in hell;
they roast you like herring"
subscribe my name yours, with
all respect, WILLIAM OLIVER.

MILLION or ACRES OPEN TO SETTLE
MENr.--The land department at
Washington has given notice that
millions of acres of railroad indemnity
land will be open to settlement by
homesteaders and pre-emptors within
a few months. These lands are among
the best lands ever offered west of the
Mississippi river and in the Gulf
States. Such an opportunity for the
young people of this nation to acquire
real estate for the mere taking will
never occur again, as the public lands
will by another year be practically
exhausted. Thereafter the struggle
for homes aud land will resemble
Europe. All who are about to start
for the West or to locate on Southern
railroad lands will find Cops Settlers

TuNNELLING THE SIERRAs.-lt is
as sure as the rising and setting of
the sun that tunnel will eventually
be pushed through the Sierra Neva-
da mountains on the line of the Cen
trail Pacific. Such a tunnel has long
been talked Of and the project OF
construction is by no means dead
In the recent investigation of rail
road affairs by the United States
Commissioners, l.. M. Clement, chief
engineer, gave testimony favoring
the construction of the tunnel. Be-
ing asked il he had studied the sub
ject of tunnelling the Sierra Nevada
mountains in order to avoid the pres.
ent steep grades and expensive snow
sheds, he said: 81 have, and il
would be good thing. 1t should

for hydraulic purposes and water
could be supplied from Lake Tahoe
to the whole state. The water could
be run under the track. The tunnel
would be Eve miles long. Its high
est altitude would be 5000 feet, OF
1850 feet below the present track
1t would cost about quarter of a
million dollars per mile.- Virginia

The Timber Lands

| Respecting the timber resources Of
the country: Senator Stanford while
in Portland, recently, made the very
practical and sensible suggestion that
the timber lands now held by the
government should be turned over e
the states to which they naturally be-
long. Commenting on this, the Ore
gonian says:
The suggestion made by Senator
| Stanford, that the timber i'll the sew
eral states be given to the states, Is
SO Just and practicable that it ought
to meet instant favor. Certainly il
cannot be claimed by anybody that
the states of the East have an equit-
able right to the timber of Oregon,
yet this Is the theory of the present
timber law. Furthermore, the gov
eminent does not need the revenue
received from the sale of timber
lands. The treasury Is already over
flowing and how to reduce the in
come without altering the fiscal pol
ICY of the government and disturbing
business is serious problem. Here
is way to cut off fraction of the
public revenue and at the same time
to do an act of justice and greatly
help the newer and poorer states.
In Oregon, the income from the sale
of timber under proper business
system would easily meet all the
charges ct the state government for a
century to come and possibly for all
the time In Washington, the income
would be even greater.
If the forests were thus given over
to the states it would be an easy
matter through timber commissions
and system of inspectors and agents,
to protect them from criminal depre-
dations and to sell timber from them
for what it is worth. No practicable
reform in governmental adminstra-
ton could do so much to save our
great timber resource from ruthless
waste.
The passage of such law, not
only for the benefit of the states,
but every territory, would result in a
great advantage. The timber lands
of Idaho under the protection of wise
local Legislation would ensure far
better results than under the present
system and provide for fund from
the annual sales made that would be
more than ample to meet the current
expenses of maintaining form of
territorial government Keystone.

Mr.. HOME RANGE AND VALLEY:
Major Meacham, chief surveyor of
the party that went out to make IL
preliminary survey for the route Of
the Mountain Home and South Boise
Canal, was in town Monday and
Tuesday, from anc Their observation
trip in the mountains. In very
pleasant conversation with him we
found that he was not able as yet to
give exact estimates, but he did as
sert that the canal could be built +;
that the project was feasible one,
and that he had no doubt but it
would be accomplished at no very
distant day. The Major thinks it
will require not more than twelve or
fourteen miles of ditching, numing
and tunneliug to reach Canyon creek,
and when that is accomplished at
least $4,000 inches Of water, at the
dryest season, can be made to flow
over this valley aud be utilized at the
will of the husbandman. 1t is est
mated that $4,000 inches of water
will readily irrigate 100000 acres of
land of the character of that sur
rounding Mountain Home.
The section of country through
which this canal must necessarily run
is very rough, rocky and PERCEPTIONS,
and Major Meacham is of the opinion
that it will cost vast amount of
money TO complete it, but that during
his thirty -odd years of surveying he
has been employed on many enter
prlses of similar character which
were far more expensive but not so
grand in results as he believed the
Mountain Home and South BOISE
River Canal would be.
There is another source from which

rigation, will fellow in the completion

The Omaha smelling works are said
to be the largest establishment of the
kind in the world. Five hundred
men are employed, whose wages
amount to 100000 a year. During
the present year, by reason OF enlarg-
ing the capacity of the works, at least
two hundred more men will be en-
ployed. The works are never shut
down, but are kept in constant oper-
alton, night and day, Sundays and
holidays. Over twenty thousand
